Summer Program and Events

Jack Creek Preserve is excited to be offering a number of new public events and recreation opportunities this summer to provide experiential learning and allow you to see more of the Preserve. We hope you will join us and look forward to seeing you on our trails and using our facilities.

Experience and explore the magic of the Jack Creek Preserve and surrounding Lee Metcalf Wilderness. Over three days and two nights, with Fan Mountain and Lone Peak as your backdrop, you will enjoy fishing, hiking, horseback riding, photography, and gourmet backcountry cuisine. Spanning 4,500 acres, the Jack Creek Preserve offers a pristine wilderness experience akin to Yellowstone National Park with abundant wildlife and natural landscape features.
